We signed yesterday afternoon and got our keys! We then drove over to the house and found that the sellers had left the pink rose wreath on the door. Isn’t it pretty? While we are looking, don’t you love the floating door? I think it is Doug’s biggest gripe about the house. The front door will be moving eventually anyway, so we will deal with it until then.
Joan (the previous owner with her husband, Jim) gardened as a hobby. Did I luck out or what!?!
When I was younger *did I just say that?* I used to have this button. It had a psychedelic background and said “Excuse me, I’m off to see the wizard.” I used to wear it on days when I felt a like my mind and my body were in two different worlds.
If I had that button now, I’d have been wearing it for the past month.
This whole house~buying~thing has me a little off~kilter, even for me. So I’ve decided to just ignore the crazy and live life anyway. For years I’ve been saying “when we have a house, I’ll start…” or, “I’ll be better about … when we have a house.” I’ve blamed this dinky little apartment for more then it’s share of…stuff.
Now there are some things
Well, it looks as thought this is really happening. We have gotten through all the parts that could make buying this house not happen, and are pretty much at the point of just waiting for the closing date. Closing will be sometime in the first half of June (one of the last things we need to nail down.)
So here are a few snaps of the Cape house that will soon become our home.
The house was built in 1900
This was a very handmade holiday. Lots of pirate~y hats for various little (and not so little) ones.
